MINERGIE is a quality label for new and refurbished buildings. This trade name is mutually supported by the Swiss Confederation, the Swiss Cantons along with Trade and Industry and has been registered to prevent misuse.

Comfort is the central theme - the comfort of the users living or working in the building. This level of comfort is made possible by high-grade building envelopes and the systematic renewal of air.

Specific energy consumption is used as the main indicator to quantify the required building quality. In this way, a reliable assessment can be assured. Only the final energy consumed is relevant.

The MINERGIE Standard is widely accepted. There are many reasons for this, the most important: builders and planners - in other words architects and engineers - have complete freedom both in their design and choice of materials and also in their choice of internal and external building structures.

In the meantime, the building sector has developed a wide range of products and services for MINERGIE buildings. Suppliers include architects and engineers as well as manufacturers of materials, components and systems. The diversity of this market furthers quality.
